i'm new to the suppressor scene and i'm learning all i can.
my problem is that i have a glock 17 that is suppressed and i can't get it to cycle correctly.
i've read about recoil boosters but i'm not sure if i can use one with my can or not.
i live in texas and bought my can from john tibbetts.i have a 308,.22 rifle,.45,and a ruger 77/44 all suppressed and work great it's just the glock 17.
what can i do to make it cycle?
i've already tried a 12# recoil spring and that didn't work:(
please help

Since the Glock is a tilt barrel design, you do in fact need a recoil booster such as a liner inertial decoupler or a Nielsen Device. What is the manufacturer of your can?
 
i bought it from john's guns.
where can i get a recoil booster or a neilsen device that will work with this can

eski -

You should contact John Tibbets about the problem. A recoil booster/nielsen device is not something like a recoil spring you just buy and install. The can has to be designed to be used with a nielsen device and the neilsen device must be designed specifically for the gun/can combination. It doesn't sound as if the can is designed for use with a Nielsen device so you probably can't add one now. You might try some different ammo, but contacting the manufacturer directly is probably going to be your best option.
 
FWIW, if you can't get a LID for your suppressor, consider getting a Beretta 92 with a threaded barrel. That model of pistol has a fixed barrel and does not need a LID to function.
 
Beretta 92 Does not have a "fixed barrel". It locks and tilts different to the Glock, but it isn't a fixed design.
 
so can i use a berretta or not.i was also looking at a taraus pt 92 and the barrel did not tilt much if any. i'm not sure if i can use either one of these guns for this can.
so once again can i use this can with either gun?
thanks

92's and PT92's will usually work without a lid, as they don't use the Browning tilt barrel, they have the lock block, and the barrel stays linear.
 
i'm thinking of purchasing a taraus pt92 i found one for a little over 300 dls.
if i doesn't function with my can where can i get a lighter recoil spring for it,also what else can i use to help the functionability of this gun and can combo.
oh i almost forgot can i use the stock barrel or do i need to get a different one if so any suggestions.

Sorry I mixed my terms earlier, but the end is the same: the Beretta 92 series generally does NOT need a LID or booster.

Depending on your suppressor, you should be able to use the stock barrel - after someone threads it, of course. Ask the maker of your suppressor first.
 
If you're in the market for another suppressor, consider a Gemtech.

We recently got some for our clan-lab team, for use with Glock 22's. They do require a threaded barrel, also available from Gemtech, but they screw on and work just fine.

Wolff springs makes reduced power springs. However, you will find that the Taurus PT92 will generally work without a booster or LID. Here is a link to the Wolff springs site:

I use a SWR Omega PC-K2 on my Taurus without a booster and with factory springs and it works fine with my subsonic loads of 147 grain at about 1000 fps.
